I'm sure it's no fun having a mother who enforces time-out.
(She had an accident at preschool, hence the boys underoos.)
(And she's going to be Dorothy for Halloween, hence the ruby slippers.)

Oh my goodness- what a precious picture! And the story behind it makes it even better!
Posted by: Abigayl | October 19, 2009 at 06:44 PM
this. is. an. amazing. picture. The emotion it evokes is wonderful! And by the way, you're a good mother for enforcing time outs! Way to go! Wow, I would give anything to be able to take photos like this. I think your class would be sooooo worth taking, but I wish the waiting list would magically get shorter so I wouldn't have to wait so long *wink-wink*!

PRECIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted by: Cee | October 19, 2009 at 06:47 PM
What a sweet photo. I love the story behind it. Good for you for enforcing time out. We had some of that at our house today too for hitting big brother.
I wish i could take photos like that. My little point and shoot camera isn't anywhere near good enough to capture the details. I hate it. But a new one is just not in the budget. I'll enjoy your beautiful photos instead.

Yeah for you! Go Mom Go!

Oh this made me smile...love the little boy underwear and ruby slippers. I have a post of my little man from a few weeks ago where he is balling...refusing to wear pants when it was freezing!
Posted by: Lynn | October 19, 2009 at 06:55 PM
That is the best photo I think I've ever seen! I LOVE the ruby slippers!
Posted by: Nicole | October 19, 2009 at 07:03 PM
I love her and want her:) Wonderful picture.

I LOVE IT! I quoted Chloe recently on my FB Wall. Apparently the kids had been upstairs preparing for a play (they routinely perform short skits which usually include a bit of puppetry, singing, cheerleading and/or gymnastics, and last but not least.. dressing up!). Well on this day, someone (mainly my daughter and Chloe's 10 year old sister), did not follow through on the plan to allow Chloe to wear THE ruby slippers. Next thing you hear is a pretty disappointed (and even more peeved) 4 year old stomping down the stairs.. "SHE SAID I could be Dorothy, but now she won't let me wear THE Ruby Slippers.. SO SHE CAN'T PLAY WITH MY DOLLS! And she's not my friend. ANYMORE!". I have to tell you that I was laying on the sofa with a banging headache when this all happened and when I heard her coming I was like.. oh no, I really don't need this today (of all days). But it ended up being EXACTLY what I needed. I laughed SO hard! I mean, really! I had to write it down.. I just didn't want to forget that!

That has to be one of the funniest and sweetest images ever! You should definitely print and frame that one.
Posted by: Alis in Wnderlnd | October 19, 2009 at 08:02 PM
Can I have her? LOL!
THis photo is amazing...it tells such a story even if you don't know the story.
Posted by: Allison | October 19, 2009 at 08:07 PM
Gosh! She is such a doll!!!!!
Posted by: Sami Melton | October 19, 2009 at 08:55 PM
*sigh* This is so precious!! Love the ruby red slippers!!
Posted by: Debbie | October 19, 2009 at 09:20 PM
This has got to be the greatest thing I've seen today!! What a pic! What a good mama! This should end up on a wall for sure!
Posted by: TammyJ | October 19, 2009 at 10:00 PM
I wish you could bottle up her adorable personality and send it to me! She is so adorable! I fall in love with her more and more each time I read your blog! Hugs from Conroe, TX!
Posted by: Nancy Wyatt | October 19, 2009 at 10:07 PM
Such a perfect portrait. I can't wait to see her in her Dorothy costume.
Posted by: Cyndi | October 19, 2009 at 10:53 PM
That has to be the cutest picture EVA!
Posted by: Kim | October 20, 2009 at 05:09 AM
ADORABLE! I swear, my Bianca and Annie are long lost sisters! That picture is Bianca to a T! Now that I think about it, I'm sure I've got hundreds of pics of Bianca in only undies and some sort of footwear, crying in a timeout cause I'm a mean ole' mommy too!
Posted by: Michelle | October 20, 2009 at 05:19 AM
what a great shot!
Posted by: Jennifer | October 20, 2009 at 06:00 AM
I love it - beautifully lit as usual.
Posted by: jack | October 20, 2009 at 06:05 AM
toO CUTE!
love the picture!
I tried time out, but never really enforced it at
the times I needed too. I just couldn't stand to hear them crying
in it!
but at 9 & 8 I am paying the price!
so good for yoU! super nanny would be proud!

Posted by: Julia | October 20, 2009 at 06:11 AM
too cute!
Posted by: anna | October 20, 2009 at 06:47 AM
I LOVE this pic of "poor little" Annie! She's such a sweetheart and you are one great Mom!
Posted by: Ann | October 20, 2009 at 07:25 AM
Just classic. I think we all have a little out there in only in their underwear and some form of footwear.
Posted by: Huyen | October 20, 2009 at 07:43 AM
Well, if you're gonna be in time out, wear your diva shoes!
Posted by: Susan Dingess | October 20, 2009 at 08:10 AM
This is great! Here everyone is commenting on Annie and I'm like--wow those stairs are gorgeous! Did you have to refinish them before you moved in?
As for the picture-absolutely beautiful--the lighting is just perfect, putting the "spotlight" on her. Boy's under pants, Ruby slippers and dirty ankle socks. Absolutely perfect!
Posted by: Ann | October 20, 2009 at 08:27 AM
so sweet!!
Posted by: Jennifer Camplin | October 20, 2009 at 08:48 AM
A time out never looked so cute. Brings me back to when my baby was 3, and she is now 22. Sometimes I would still like to give her a time out!!! Love the story
Posted by: Cindy Welch | October 20, 2009 at 09:02 AM
that lighting is insane!!!
Posted by: domenico | October 20, 2009 at 09:06 AM
Just too cute!

This may be one of my favorite pictures you've ever shared. Thank you!
Posted by: Tanya | October 20, 2009 at 11:05 AM
There is no other word than PRECIOUS for that photo. I could see it be a big poster on a bedroom wall.
I so love your photography and your willingness to share!
Posted by: dmatthews | October 20, 2009 at 02:06 PM
Oh no :( I probably need a time out sometimes, too.
Posted by: Latifa | October 20, 2009 at 03:12 PM
Awww, isn't it amazing that one picture could tell a thousand stories? What an awesome photo!
Posted by: Val from Down Under | October 20, 2009 at 04:55 PM
Priceless! She is so adorable. Mom you gotta do what you gotta do.
Posted by: Regina | October 20, 2009 at 05:08 PM
This photo melts my heart.
Posted by: Jan Larson | October 20, 2009 at 05:08 PM
This is a keeper! Your little girl is a real character!
Posted by: Jeanelle | October 20, 2009 at 06:00 PM
Love the picture...and I must say good for you---she stays in timeout?!?!? How do you do that? I put my 3 year old in time out, and about 2 seconds later, she is up or kicks and screams and runs around...timouts don't work here----but would love to know your secret!!!
Posted by: jodi lansink | October 20, 2009 at 06:05 PM
I'd take a time out if I got to sit on those beautiful stairs! And wear those shoes!
Posted by: Kelli | October 20, 2009 at 06:11 PM
I love all of your pictures but this one is my most FAV ever! Priceless and adorable.
Posted by: D'Nese | October 20, 2009 at 06:11 PM
Awwww...she can even make boys underoos look sassy! Precious baby girl!
Posted by: kat-in-texas | October 20, 2009 at 07:59 PM
Love love it!
AND, thanks so so much for the png rounded corners. You are so sweet to share..I truly appreciate it...you are a gREAT role model for your kiddos!
Posted by: janel | October 20, 2009 at 08:56 PM
priceless.
Posted by: jennifer Compton | October 21, 2009 at 06:46 AM
Oh my goodness - this picture is just too adorable and precious - this is one that should be framed - love the boys underoos and the little ruby slippers! Poor Annie - you're such a MEAN mommy! HA! (just kidding - I think you are an awesome mommy with LOTS of patience or at least lots of ways of hiding your lack thereof) ha ha! :o)
Posted by: Tracy | October 21, 2009 at 07:18 AM
I love this picture. Would you mind sharing how you did the rounded edges?
Posted by: Marlina | October 21, 2009 at 09:00 AM
Yep...definitely one of my fave photos you've posted yet. SO amazing. Composition, light, subject, story...perfection! And the cute...omg...the CUTE!
Posted by: Tanya | October 22, 2009 at 01:00 PM
Okay, two hilarious things!!!----(1) At first read I thought the boys underoos were a punishment for having an accident at school and thought "oh dear"...and then quickly realized I was over-analyzing the time out (and that obviously the underoos were the only thing available to wear at school)! hahahaha! and (2) My Mac "Net Nanny" software that blocks pages just blocked yours today for "lingerie"---ohhhhh, THAT MADE ME LAUGH! Don't worry, I unblocked it. But good to know our Internet filter is hard at work. hahaha. =)
Posted by: Michelle | October 22, 2009 at 01:02 PM
LOVE this picture. Thanks for sharing!
Posted by: Sharla | October 23, 2009 at 12:59 PM
